Great news I hit the mute button when its to loud.
you hear that channel 47?!!
This was supposed to have been done decades ago. WT?
WMDT along with the cable channels is the worst. Maybe the FCC will enforce it this time.
I don't see the need for the new law; that law has been around for 45 years, and passed again maybe 30 years ago! Of course, with so many laws, they seem to get lost in the shuffle.
